Corsair Dominator Pc8888 CL4, Wow!

[BadNizze]

Hi all!

I´m not much of an reviewer or SuperPi tweaker but I do like good ram and this kit is my best so far :D I will uppdate with more tests as I go, this is a small teaser!

First time playing with DFI UT X48 board aswell, timings mostly on auto ;) Totall uptime less then 4 hours.


500Mhz 4-4-4-X Low vdimm test...:up:

UPPDATE 31/6-08

I like to do my tests as "real world" as posibule, that´s way I do all my test with the suplied "Dominator fan" inside case.
I have som basic test I do with all my ram the first is 500mhz 4-4-4-X at the lowest voltage. As seen above my dominators did this with 1,91v. Second test is 400mhz 3-4-3-9, while I did not exactly match 400mhz I was impressed my findings.

CL3 @ 2,15v

Still CL3...2,35v Never had ANY kit that did close to this with realativly low v-dimm.

Also booted win at 600mhz 4-4-4-12 with 2,42. Not stable but should be with under 2,5v!

CL5 tests and 500mhz CL3 still to come...

Those sticks put the Dominate in Dominator. The set I have will do CAS 5 1170 with 1.8v and CAS4 985 24/7 stable :eek: Fantastic sticks, you've got some room with that trfc :p:

[Crazypinoy9]

i think you should post better or bigger screen shots...

[makaka]

Yeah , i can't see anythings

what the hell id you do to those screenshots man! :D
i cant make out anything, post some real screenshots! :P

LOL don´t know! I will fix it when I get back from work :)

[LIKMARK]

Damn those VenomRX sticks nut311 linked to pisses all over your dominators man

[saaya]

Damn those VenomRX sticks nut311 linked to pisses all over your dominators manyeah but corsair guarantees high clocks, that brand i never heard of is officially only rated to 800 555...
and the hand writing on the stick looks very suspicious if you ask me...
i dont think all their kits clock to 1100 444... if they would, then why wouldnt they sell them as 1000 444 or at least 800 444?

[bhavv]

I think that OCZ Flex II are better as they are guaranteed for 1150 Mhz and can scale up to and beyond 1200 Mhz on 2.15v. But I dont think they can do 1.8v. I havnt tried testing them at CAS 4 yet, but I have heard that they can do 1000 Mhz. I will test that at some time.

[BadNizze]

Fixed screen in first post! Finaly...

Trust me, the OCZ Flex II's have nothing on these sticks. Those Flex II's aren't in the same category of the 8888C4 dominators. I don't have my notebook with me but I recall 1200MHz CAS 4 with really tight sub-timings at 2.3v and 1120-1130 with 2.1v.

Oh so these corsairs must be 2x1 Gb then? I thought they were 2x2 Gb.

[BadNizze]

Yes, they are 2*1gb.

Booted win at 600mhz 4-4-4-12 @ 2,42v but it was not stable, should be stable with 2,5v or so. Will test that later my 28C ambient is not helping...
Testing 415mhz 3-4-3-9 @ 2,15v know, looks good so far.

EDIT:3-4-3-9 Screen, I think I can go a tad lower on the volts for this to be stable :)

huh? the ocz is rated 1150 cas5, theese corsairs are rated 1111mhz cas4 afaik?
according to the specs this corsair kit is WAY faster than the ocz kit.

[BadNizze]

Hey saaya! As soon as I´m done playing with this kit am swiching over to my Cellhock "Red" Pc9200 kit ;) Should be intresting as I have never had any luck with those on AMD platform. Hopfully they will play nice with my DFI... I heard DFI´s X48 does not like GKX, do you know any thing abought that?

@ Bhavv, You realy like that Ocz kit don´t know? Don´t take this the wrong way, but it´s hard to compare an 1*2gb to an 2*2gb kit. And those power chips ARE nice, tryed 5-5-3-X with them?

[saaya]

there were some problems with some dfi boards, but oskar fixed it in some bios release a while back :)
you should be able to get the 9200s to 1200 555 or 1066 444, or higher... :D
unless theres some problem with the board, but as i said, that should be loooong fixed :)

[BadNizze]

Some strage behavior going on here, either my board does not like CL5 or my Kit does not.

Running my CPU at 9*300 for an mem klock of 600mhz 5-5-5-15 PL7. Cpu is toltaly stable at this clock with 1,1v.

Example
Vdimm 2,0v
NB 1,306
OCCT fails after 5-7sec...

Vdimm 2,05v
NB1,36
Occt fails after 1min

Vdimm 2,05
NB 1,404
Occt fails after 9 min.

Is it normal to need 1,4v + for 600mhz 5-5-5-15 PL7? Or am I doing something wrong?

[Lestat]

i had a kit of 8888's and
1) wouldnt boot at under 2.2v you needed to do a ram swap to install them in a system. the worst part of the ram. they could have made a lower SDP in the ram so they would boot.
2) were horrible and couldnt overclock past stock SPD
3) i sold them after a week lol....

nice to see your having a good time with them!!

[Sadhiq]

I think max Cas4 is still from Brezodor (JMH) :

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=317244

But here there's nothing to discuss about low vdimm, he used 3.1v under SS ;)

But still, nice sticks of Corsair, when you start playing with subs, you'll get something better I think.

[Data_]

Can you post some everest memory benchmark results?

[Dr Dre]

which chip have this module? :)

[Don_Dan]

which chip have this module? :)

Some kind of Micron IC, most likely D9GKX.

[18 is # 1]

Almost like the 6400 C3FD:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145165

Loosen those and they go way up.

Just be sure to keep under the 2.4v....I've already cooked one pair:shrug:

But another is on the way:D

[ymer]

That's some cool stuff, what chips are in it?

[mad_skills]

Handpicked Micron D9, GMH or GKX, not sure which one.

[ymer]

thanks, if you decide to take the HS fan off don't forget to post pics of the chips!!

[mad_skills]

Most likely D9GKX, just need to confirm.
